In their previous game, Davidson had a 21 pt lead at 4-21 St Joes and lost on a last second 3

Haven't seen much of URI this year but they don't really pass the eye test to me

And the ball is awarded to URI..wow. Davidson doesnt want to win
Ive watched some uri as my buddy is an alum. Fast russell is just an enigma. Some nights you think my god this is the player of the year, others you think he should be locked to the bench

St Bonnies might get to 100. It would be sweet to eliminate that Quad 3 loss

The last 3 games ive seen have all been examples of winning teams doing brutal jobs of closing a game out

90 UCLA is a tough sell, lost Q3 Hofstra(22-7) at home and *Q4 CSU-Fullerton(10-17)* at home. Positives, swept 12 Colorado(soon to drop big) and win @ 7 Arizona, and still have a home game against Arizona. 2 other Q1 wins, @75 Oregon St and @73 Washington, both will be Q2 soon. We will see how much they gain from Colorado game if they have a chance winning 7 of 8, now.

Boy, the Bonnies and Wildcats made those games too interesting, but they pulled out much appreciated wins.

This season is SO MUCH more fun than when we are not anywhere close to the bubble.

They have both Arizona’s back to back at home and USC “away” may very well play back in. Hofstra not a bad loss at all.

Remember when football season was over in October and then you thought about Basketball season.. but that was over in January and you had to think about the next crappy football season?

Yeah

In football season, I’d say it’s okay, we’re a basketball school.
And in a basketball season, I’d say it’s okay, we’re a football school.

Just hoping someday, one of the 2 descriptions would stick!

St Louis has 0.01% chance right now 1-4 Q1, 2-3 Q2, top three NET wins are *@Richmond* only Q1, vs VCU-Q2 and @ Kansas St (9-18)-Q2. They would have to win @URI a Q1 to get in consideration.

Today is another Q1 game. I have to think a loss (unless a huge blowout) we slip to the 9/10 line but are still in.

I think a loss to PSU next week slips us to the 11/12 and first four territory.

to BacS earlier points. Even if we lose, others need to win to pass us. It isn’t just a one way street.

we could lose the next four and still be “in” if others don’t win games.

We can lose the next 2 and still be on the 8 line.

disgree, we are already on the 9 line in Lunardi, I have RU has a 9, Palm RU as a 10....I dont think we get penalized too much by losing on the road to tourney schools but simply by not winning while other teams around us win, I see us going to at best 9 with Wisky loss and to 10 with Penn State loss, a Maryland loss would be us at 11 and very near or in play in game

Lol.

Losing to Hofstra at home is definitely a bad loss. The only way UCLA is playing themselves in is by winning the Pac 12 tournament.

St Louis has zero shot, come on.


if UCLA can beat the Arizona schools and both are at home, I think they move into the field, but if they are getting in Stanford or USC isnt.

There isn't that many "clean sheets" when it comes to the tournament teams this year. Alot of NET 30-70 teams either don't have many Q1 wins, but no bad losses or teams that have a lot of Q1 wins, have multiple bad Q3/4 losses. The committee will always excuse 1 losses, not 2 or more.

32 Stanford Q1 2-5 Q2 3-3, overall Q1/2 5-8, 1 Q3 loss(@Cal. By 2) best win vs Oregon, next best is sweeping 13-15 Washington and N Oklahoma
No good or bad wins.

Providence is the strangest of them all. NET 46 Q1 7-8 Q2 3-0 but 3 Q3 and 1 Q4 loss, lost @ 6-19 Northwestern, vs 13-10 Penn, N 10-18 Long Beach St and N 15-13 Charleston.

They are about 35-40 teams with 4 or more Q1 wins includes .500 or losing record teams, but there aren't many with as many Q2 wins that we have. Like 25 Houston(21-7) has 2 Q1 wins but 6 Q2 for overall Q1/2 8-7. We are more like Houston 3-7, 4-1, Q1/2 7-8 which right now is comfortably in right now. Are we going to look as good at 7-12, no but the next 4 games are all winnable games, esp. Maryland off 5 days rest to their 2 days.
